39. Aristotle was the first person to classify living
organisms and did so using a two-kingdom system
involving a plant group and an animal group. The system
used today is much more useful to scientists because the
two-kingdom system did not…
1. A. recognize the similarities within the
plant group.
2. B. separate living things based on
characteristics and traits.
3. C. allow for the placement of human
beings in its classification.
4. D. include many organisms such as
those later discovered with
microscopes.

Butterflies
The monarch is a bright orange butterfly
with black stripes. It acquires toxins from the
milkweed plants it eats as a caterpillar. Adult
monarchs retain these chemicals. Experiments
have shown that blue jays that eat poisonous
monarchs become sick within 15 to 30 minutes. The viceroy is also an orange, black-striped
butterfly, which is difficult to distinguish from a monarch. Viceroy larvae consume primarily nontoxic poplar or willow tree leaves. Scientists have long suggested that viceroys have avoided
predation by mimicking the monarch’s coloration pattern. New evidence indicates that this may
not be the case. Descriptions of two sets of experiments with monarchs and viceroys are given
below.
Experiment 1 (1958): Blue jays that were raised in captivity were offered viceroys. The
hungry jays devoured the viceroys. The same jays were offered monarchs. After eating one or
two monarchs, the blue jays refused to eat monarchs or viceroys. All butterflies’ wings were
intact when given to the birds.
Experiment 2 (1991): Researchers fed the wingless abdomens of monarch, viceroy,
queen, and non-toxic control butterflies to red-winged blackbirds and monitored the percentage
of each type eaten. While 98% of control butterflies and 70% of queen butterflies were eaten,
only 40% of viceroys and 40% of monarchs were eaten.

33. What statement regarding the similarities between
monarchs and viceroys best agrees with Charles Darwin’s
theory of natural selection at the time of its publication in
1859?
1.
2.
3.
4.
Monarch butterflies are an older species
than viceroy butterflies.
Similarities between monarch and
viceroy butterflies result from their
diets.
Viceroy butterflies avoid predation due
to their resemblance to monarch
butterflies.
Variations in DNA sequences are
responsible for the similarity between
monarch and viceroy butterflies.

34. A scientist studying a large population of a particular species of
bird concludes that monarch butterflies are toxic to that bird
species. However, upon studying a second, smaller population of
the same bird species, he discovers that the second population is
able to eat monarchs without becoming sick.
How could the scientist best explain his findings?
1.
2.
3.
4.
The larger bird population has a
small gene pool.
Monarchs are only toxic if eaten in
large quantities.
Genetic drift has occurred in the
smaller population.
Natural selection has increased
populations of non-toxic
butterflies.

Scoring Guidelines
8. Owls are nocturnal hunters and depend on their acute
vision for survival. If Minerva’s cataracts are determined
to be inherited and she is released back into her natural
habitat, she could pass the allele for cataracts on to her
offspring. What process would most likely act against any
offspring with an allele for cataracts?

9. The mutation for cataracts (c) occurs on a gene represented
by the letter E. Owls that are homozygous for the mutation
(EcEc) exhibit cataracts. Owls that are homozygous for normal
eyes are EE and owls that are carriers of the mutation but do
not exhibit cataracts are EEc. What percentage of the
offspring in a cross between parents with the genotypes EE
and EcEc will exhibit cataracts?

inherited?
